so far penang island still free from the connection problems kudos to celcom penang, at least

ya, Penang Island is one of the fastest area in Malaysia.

how long it takes for the transaction ? i pay through machine this evening , but till night still havent update my account.

I'm quite new here, so...hi to all . Just wanna stress a point that I am so damn MAD at this point with Celcom BB. Signed up like 2 weeks ago for unlimited D98, bought Huawei E220 as the modem.

My speedtest (from Speedtest.net) is like downloading not more than 60kb and uploading less than 10kb (doing few speedtest daily)...sometimes cant even be completed. Moreover the connection sometimes (actually countless times) discontinues or timeout...1 more reason to be frustrated about, especially when I need to do conference or alike. . zzzzz fed up with repeated clicking on the same button or links!

Seems like whenever the connection changed from HSDPA to UMTS or vice versa, the connection discontinues...or rather timeout. Do we have any solution to this? I mean the changing from HSDPA to UMTS thing. I read in few of the post about setting network as 3G only and so on, done that..just wondering if there's anything else that could be done.

sigh...was in UK for 4 years, with 24MB constant, uninterrupted broadband connection..I just hope Malaysia connection can improve by time, and of course hope people there really do their jobs..

btw, my location is Cheras KL..shows full bar UMTS/HSDPA at the Celcom interface.

I dont think it is congestion problem. The speed always starts off rapidly. For only a sec or 2. Only to decrease to appropriate throttling speed, 128kbps and 64kbps. But surfing specific webpages such as Celcom 3G webpage, the speed is extremely fast. All these symptoms are signs of heavy throttling by Celcom. I think that Celcom has "perfected" its throttle technique. Probably safe to assume that the upgrade they are referring to all these times is this

Ironically, in Celcom 3G page, Celcom defined "broadband" as internet connection above 256kbps. And yet, it throttles users to 64 and 128kbps - well below the defined speed of broadband by Celcom itself. So how on earth this service is called Celcom broadband?! Celcom broadband 5GB + dial-up >5GB...

I cant wait to see wad DiGi has to offer. The slow implementation of DiGi 3G is wearing me thin. Please get into the market ASAP, DiGi. There are plenty of unhappy Celcom customers waiting for you. I dont mind "giving" money to DiGi if it can offer better service. If only there is another ISP in my area... Just becoz of that, I unwillingly and regularly pay Celcom for crappy service.

cant really do something regarding that things. its all ups to Celcom to manage/upgrade their BB. wow 24MB/s BB that's great. Celcom to have 24MB/s in near future is something that quite impossible...huhu..

hey guys wanna ask a few questions...i'm using a nokia e61i to surf the net using celcom 3g. now the thing is out of the sudden the access point to connect to the internet are all lost!? i mean usually they have many access point options on the phone like. "celcom 3g postpaid internet" " celcom 3g prepaid internet" "celcom 3g" "celcom 3g wap" bla bla bla....and the usual access point i use for the phone is "celcom 3g postpaid internet"

the only option left now are "celcom 3g streaming" and "celcom 3g wap" this happened after i switch sim cards to a different phone, and when i change it back, it got this way......

the questions is

The access point that i'm using now is "celcom 3g streaming"... will celcom charge me to death if i use this access point? or is it the same? i'm using the D68 plan and a DATA only sim card by the way.

i mean will they like slap me with a huge azz bill that is more then rm68 because i'm using the wrong access point that is not part of the d68 plan?

does anyone knows how to change it back?

CAn i know what is the difference between CSL U1 and celcom e220???price ??? performance???

don't go to maxis. from my personal experience (and to keep maxis nice speed right now stays)

Well, I bought Huawei E220 for about RM360...perfomance is up to its standard, I mean can support 7.2Mbps, HSDPA/UMTS, can get a good coverage, etc2 (more or less the same with others in its class).

Actually which modem u took (coz latest is 3.5G anyway), doesnt really matters in the perfomance i think...its the ISP u chose for.

if possible, try create a new data account profiles

profile name : celcom 3g
APN: celcom3g
Access no.: *99#

wow the speed in unimas r great! i even get 3g fullbar in here. its not like at my hometown which is always disconnected. hope this will last longer

Well, not much people connected at this time. Try connect once all students return back to UNIMAS.

I don't think they will charge you. I am using D98 on my nokia 6120c. I change from Celcom 3g internet to C3g postpaid to streaming. No problem at all. My D98 is data only, no voice call. They never charge me extra. If you're using with voice maybe u need to be careful, but I'm not sure.

you can try Digi's plan today, RM10/mth access fee, +RM66 for unlimited data, no deposit & no contract
only 10+66 = RM76 for 1 mth test
maybe u can get pro-rated bill if terminate early

LoL

hmm is like that? lol. i thought u were said that they built new tower at desa ilmu to cope with large traffic

lol. spam.

For the time being, i'll just use my uni wifi to avoid cbb congestion

i am new to celcom broadband and using huawei e200 modem.
I need to do any setup?Or just plug in the sim card and modem then can online d?
BTW i just register today, so do i need to wait a few days until they activate it?

Yeah you need to wait within 24-48 hours or if you're lucky just a few hours
Happy New Year
